I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up at me and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth, and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.

When I am flown with my fellow banners,
my head is a little higher,
my colors a little truer.

I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped -- I am saluted.
I am loved -- I am revered.
I am respected -- and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war
for more than 200 years
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettsyburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam.
Okinawa, Korea and Khe San, Saigon, Vietnam know me,
I was there.
I led my troops,
I was dirty, battle worn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled
on streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my own country.
And when it's by those
whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips
and used as bandages
for my wounded comrads on the battlefield.
When I am flown at half - mast to honor my soldier,
or when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daugher,
I am proud.

MY NAME IS OLD GLORY
LONG MAY I WAVE
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN
LONG MAY I WAVE
MAY I FLY PROUDLY FOR ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED YEARS

the United States will hunt down
and punish those responsible
for these cowardly acts......"
